Ive tried boiling water in the tank, should i take the rock out squirt the water on the anenome and put the rock back it?
Also the reason i asked about lime juice is because my parents friends son owns a pet store up in big rapids and he specializes in saltwater fish, he saaid that when he get aiptasia he uses lime juice and they shrivel upand you never see them again. What do you think?

that would be interesting... lets see those results. Although you will have to observe over a few days. The apps will go away and they will come back if it doesn't work. It usually takes up to a week before you will know if they are really gone or not.
experiment and do let us know!

I've never had kalk bombing fail. A few tablespoons of kalk in a whiskey glass, mix in some tank water till you have sort of a watery oatmeal/paste. Then use a larger syringe, like the type for marinating meat, and then blast the buggers. The best part is that the aiptasia will close on itself, usually injesting some kalk paste, so it's a guaranteed kill. Then cover the hole on the LR the aiptasia was with some more kalk. It will stay put.
Just be careful with smaller tanks you don't do too much and throw pH off.

I dont have kalk paste, and i want to see wich of the less effective ways work best, because all i hear about kalkk is its definantly going to work.

I have a valentini puffer, and i hear those arnt really reliable, i cant get a copperband butterfly because my tank is to small(the guy at the LFS said i would be able to getaway with a small one, but i dont want topay 30.00$ for something ill have for only a few weeks. I dont want to spend the money on berghia nudis either.
